Sagittarius and Virgo Compatibility

Discriminating Virgo and outgoing Sagittarius bring vastly different viewpoints to a relationship, though due to the fascination of difference, the sexual attraction can be intense. Sagittarius loves to break new ground, to explore the unknown, while Virgo prefers to reflect and analyse. Virgo is a perfectionist, so at first you might be rather bewildered by the Virgoan need to match the colours on the pegs, or place the bookshelf in alphabetical order, under topic heads! Really these two signs are a bit like the grasshopper and the ant, but intelligent communication and mutual appreciation that is clearly spelled out can keep things running smoothly.

Virgo the Virgin is ruled by analytical Mercury and Sagittarius the Archer is ruled by expansive Jupiter. These two energies can complement each other, but generally the desire of Virgo to focus on close detail to the exclusion of the bigger picture does not sit well with your constant urge to break new ground, boldly tramping to the far horizons. Mercury governs communication and analysis; Jupiter rules philosophy, cultural pursuits, travel and the higher mind. In the art of love Virgo has a reputation for coolness, but is a more slow-burning fuse that, once properly ignited, leads to an explosion of white heat which takes quite a while to cool down.

Virgo, an Earth Sign, is practical and realistic rather than romantic, while Sagittarius is a Fire Sign. The fiery Archer has a reckless spirit and longs to shoot for the stars, while the more grounded Virgin prefers to build systematically for future security. Both are intellectual signs, but the way your minds work clashes. Sagittarius is a sucker for pure feeling, while Virgo is definitely more of a thinker. This means that communication and mutual understanding is even more important than with other signs. Virgo is very fastidious and can be critical of the personal habits of others, so sloppy Sag needs to get it together fast, or get out the door! Virgo prefers a stable, secure partnership, so your bed-hopping proclivities will hardly go down a treat here.

Virgo and Sagittarius are both mutable signs. Generally the mutable signs (Sagittarius, Virgo, Pisces and Gemini) are better matched as friends or colleagues than as spouses. These signs need to lean on their partners for security, while supplying at their own end the social lubricant and joie de vivre that can make stronger more stable partners happy, bringing them out of themselves. You’ll need to have absorbing external interests in common for the match to last very long.
